6 Hair and Beauty Trends from Fashion Week 2020 to Try at Your Wedding

New York, London, and Milan - the fashion week trifecta!

If you’re at all familiar with fashion week, you know these three locations house some of the most popular runway shows. What hits the runway might not always be accessible to the average bride, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take a trend and make it your own. There is so much inspiration to pull from the looks that are displayed on the runway, not only from fashion but also from hair and makeup. From creative hair accessories to bold beauty choices, you can upgrade your bridal look from classic to cool-girl chic with one simple addition. So, if you’re looking to spice up your bridal look, we’ve put together a list of the six hair and beauty trends you should consider trying out on your big day!

Vampire Goth

‘90s grunge attire was a huge trend at fashion week this year and it even seeped into the beauty looks. Dark lipstick, whether you go for a crimson, dark purple, or even dark brown, brings a dramatic elegance to your bridal look. If you choose a dark lip shade, it is best offset with a bare face and minimal eye makeup, unless you want to go complete vampire bride on your big day.

Watercolor Splash

Including color in your bridal look might seem like a risky move, but if you opt for lighter tones, it can be a fun, subtle addition that won’t distract from the rest of your ensemble. The runway this year saw the introduction of a colored waterline and watercolor eyeshadow, which can give your eyes some definition without being too overpowering. Pair this colored eye with some light blush and a nude lip, and you’ve got the rainbow sherbet look of your dreams!

Fairy Dusted Eyes

If you want to keep your beauty look simple for your wedding, but still want a bit of pizazz, opt for fairy dusted eyes. This ethereal, dream-like look is very simple, yet elegant. You can pair a metallic glitter eyeshadow with a lighter colored eyeshadow or use it on its own, but either way, it will be a subtle addition to your beauty look.

Braided Crowns

Hair trends are taking a turn for the structurally beautiful. Braids in every form - fishtail, twist, classic - were all over the runway, but the most artistically pleasing is the braid crown. You can go for a braided crown bun, or simply create a braid that follows the crown of your head, leaving the rest of your hair in loose waves. Opting for a braid in your hairstyle adds some dimension to your hair and is just a really simple look to pull off.

Jeweled Hair

Hair accessories have taken off in the fashion world, from the return of barrettes to the hair scarves of last season. This season is heavily influenced by the ‘70s rock goddess style, with a modern twist. Jewels, whether it’s rhinestones or pearls, can be added to any hairstyle, from loose waves to a sleek updo. This is a perfect hairstyle if you’re planning to forego a veil, it adds that eye-catching element to your hair that a veil would without the extra fabric.

Retro Waves

If you’re going for a vintage aesthetic with your bridal look, you’re in luck because retro waves are making a comeback. Designers took a more laid-back approach to the ‘20s finger waves and ‘70s slicked back retro waves. Providing a simple elegance, this classic hairstyle would be a fashionable addition to any gown.
